along on-the frame A, in the direction indicated by arrow 1, bythe screw-shaft E, and wheel f, the latter being held stationary by a pawl g. The saw B, cutsithe shingle' from the bolt J, and when the carriage has arrived at the end of the imovementdesignated -by arrow 1, the pin bx, actuates the catch l1, and the latter liber-artes the pawl g-,which -retains the wheel f, or preventsit from turning. The `wheel f,sbeingr elieved. from the pawl g, -tlie weight f, draws the carriage back in the direction indicated byyarrow, 2.

to its original position,and just` before the carriage reaches the end of the latter movement the pins cx, 0X, actuate the wiper u, and the bar Q, and cross bar fu, which is attached to it is inoved'so that the `latterbar e, will have a relative ,oblique vposition. with-'the sides e, @,'of-theA frame andythe'reby draw the planer C, toward: the shingle as the latter is cut from the bolt, this ylatter movement of the planer compensa-ting for the oblique position of the bolt which is given itrby'the .bar p, the latter aetuatingthe Ybar I, in consequence ofthe pendent lips s, ofv said-,bar projecting downA each .side lof the. bar Y p. `The .upper bar p, however is not Imoved as much as the Vlower barA g, asithe. setfscrews t, t, are so adjusted asto permit a certain degree of movement of the ibar g, before'the upper' one p, is 1noved. vThis arrangement of the set vscrews t, #,and pendent g., is-necessary vasthe bai-I, and ,bolt J are vibrated. cen-f trally, or from the center and consequently the vbar 29, requires `toube turned or moved only; one half,thedistanceofthe lbang, in order that the. obliquityof theeboltzand bar o, may correspond."r The ,planer C, planes the side ofthe shingle kas thesame is. sawed from' the bolt, and the bolt atithe termination ofV the carriage G in the direction of arrow 2, is fed bodily toward the saw in consequence of .the ratchet Z, of the screw H, being brought in contact with the curved ybar dx, thefscrew H, actuating the slide z', and consequently the bar I and bolt J. The

-bar's I, o,- it-willbe1ufnderstood are placed consecutively in reverse positions at the terminations of the movement ofthe carriage Gr,zin the direct-ion of arrow 2, sothat the `sli-ingles will be sawed from-theibolt with :their buttsalternately from either' end.

f Iam aware thatcircular saws androtary planers have been previously usedffor saw- Aing` and planingshingles and I therefore do not .claim;broadlyfand separately said devices; but,
